Vosková, Michala ; Lukáš, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kalínská, Emílie (referee)
Crude oil is an important commodity of world trade and it has become an essential part of everyday life. It is a necessary condition of economic growth, which in the current situation of economic boom of China, India and other developing countries entails an economically, ecologically, socially and geopolitically unsustainable problem. The turbulent sequence of past events on the crude oil market only foreshadows the future development that is going to occure after achieving the crude oil production peak. The following irreversible changes will be more revolutionary than evolutional. The era of cheap oil will parish and the 21st century is going to be distinguished by fights for energy and resources. This is one of the reasons why many renowned institutions and organisations are concerned with these questions, trying to predict future scenarios and find feasible solutions. The world needs secure, renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources, however crude oil is unfortunately none of them. Radical transition from crude oil economy to a clean alternative one, that is probably the most suitable solution to current situation, will require engagement of governments, organisations and individuals as well. It is an inevitable step of preserving the world for humanity and the coming generations. Crude oil market perspectives are quite well foreseeable for the coming decades, questionable remains only the proper solution of the rising problems and action of taking the correct steps in the right direction.

The Legacy of the Japanese Pacific Empire within the Cold War
Janáková, Barbora ; Hnízdo, Bořivoj (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
From the early twentieth century, Japan has been central to any conception of the Asia-Pacific as a region. In the build-up to and during the Pacific War this found expression primarily in the abortive attempt to impose an economic empire by force. After 1945 Japan emerged as the most dynamic economic centre of the region within a strategic and economic order established by the United States. The idea of a 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere', an attempt to legitimize the Japanese military and political drive for supreme regional power over all the Asia-Pacific in the 1930s and the early 1940s, was launched in early 1941, and signalled Japan's further expansion to the south after the capture of Indochina. Apart from the military and geopolitical aspects of Japanese territorial expansion southwards, the creation of a regional sphere under Japanese supremacy was intimately linked to Japan's growing need for raw materials following the rapid industrialization in the Meiji and Taishō eras. The 'Co-Prosperity Sphere' may be said to have been the first modern attempt to create regional political and economic integration in the Asia-Pacific. It is noteworthy that the geographical extension of the 'Co-Prosperity Sphere' in the early 1940s comprised almost exactly the same region as the Japanese economy came to...

Korbelius, Vojtěch ; Baxa, Jaromír (advisor) ; Kopečná, Vědunka (referee)
JEL Classification B22, C11, C23, D92, E22, O52 Keywords FDI, Financial crisis, EU, integration Author's e-mail v.korbelius@gmail.com Supervisor's e-mail jaromir.baxa@fsv.cuni.cz Our work analyses the determinants of FDI in Europe, at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. It finds out that the FDI is positively and significantly influenced by the size of the economy (GDP, growth of GDP), total size of the labor force, openness of the economy and institutional framework. The findings show the EU accession does not have an immediate effect. However, long term membership might positively affect the FDI inflow. According to our analysis the recent financial crisis has changed the main determinants of the FDI inflows. It has warned the investors it is important not to consider only immediate profits but also future prospects. Generally the investment nowadays is below its potential level and the governments should take action to change it, if the FDI is their priority.

Risk measures - sensitivity and dynamics
Branda, Martin ; Polívka, Jan (referee) ; Lachout, Petr (advisor)
Risk measures are subject to many scientific papers and monographs published on financial portfolio optimization problem within stochastic programming. Currently there are many functionals which measure risk of random future losses according to risk managers preferences. However, their sensitivity is studied less commonly, especially according to possible changes of input data or with respect to the portfolio allocation. This thesis deals with sensitivity of two frequently discussed measures - Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR). Explicit contamination bounds for relative VaR optimization problem are expressed using general results of parametric optimization valid for quadratic programming. A numerical study and a heuristic algorithm for correlation matrices stressing are involved. Sensitivity of VaR and CVaR is studied through their derivatives with respect to the portfolio allocation. Assumptions for the derivatives are formulated, Hessians introduced and convexity is discussed. At last, some dynamic risk measures for multi-period investory models are proposed.
